John Kerry Chides Volcano, Gets No Respect

Where did we go wrong? We could have had this man as our president.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said global warming is as big a threat as terrorism in a speech in Indonesia, the world’s largest exporter of coal for power plants, seeking to burnish his credential as a climate champion before deciding on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project.

Speaking yesterday in the capital of Jakarta, the last stop on his three-nation Asia tour, Kerry called on the international community — nations and individuals — to do more now as addressing climate change required a global solution. The speech came against the backdrop of the eruption of the Mount Kelud volcano that disrupted air travel in the region and forced the cancellation of Kerry’s planned meeting today with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. [If you must]

If you are an Indonesian who makes $120 a year, you’ve gotta love it when an American whose personal carbon footprint dwarfs Burkina Faso rolls into town from his 757 in a caravan of Humvees, telling you to stop cooking over wood fires.

Then the neighborhood volcano belches more florocarbons and other poisonous gasses into the atmosphere than China and the U.S. combined in a year; but shame on you, all you can think about is saving the lives of your own miserable families.

Wake up you Flat Earthers!

As if these people don’t hate us enough, you know?
